Answer
The Department does not hold the information requested. The recording of information on offences related to domestic abuse which have been reported to the police is a matter for the Chief Constable, who is accountable to the Northern Ireland Policing Board. I am committed to respecting the operational independence of the Chief Constable and the role of the Northern Ireland Policing Board.
You may, therefore, wish to direct your question to the PSNI.
